U.S. Cities Asked To Step Up Transit Security
Deadly Blasts Rocked London Transit System


(AP) WASHINGTON The Homeland Security Department asked authorities in major cities Thursday for heightened vigilance of transportation systems after a series of explosions on London transit systems.

Security was stepped up in Washington, with bomb-sniffing dogs and armed police officers patrolling subways and buses—ridden by about 1.2 million people a day—and looking for anything suspicious. Passengers were being urged to report any suspicious activity.

A police helicopter repeatedly circled the Robert F. Kennedy stadium area, a major transportation hub with several bus stops and large commuter parking lots.

At the Pentagon, police officers said they had been placed on a heightened alert shortly after the London attacks.

Security around the massive home of the Defense Department, hit in the Sept. 11 attacks, was more visible than normal Thursday, with police officers in squad cars, on bicycles and on foot deployed in greater numbers than usual on the perimeter roadways and the Metro station.

Other major cities also heightened security on transit systems.

In Boston, Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney raised the security level on the city’s transit system. Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said the heightened security level is similar to the “Code Orange” used by federal authorities.

Increased police coverage of subways, buses and transit stations was also ordered throughout New York City.

In Los Angeles, a police official said police had activated a special command center and officials were meeting to decide whether to upgrade security levels around the city.

A spokeswoman for the Chicago Transit Authority said transit officials were working with Chicago Police on additional security measures. CTA spokeswoman Kimberly Myles said announcements were being made to riders to be aware of their surroundings and to alert transit workers about suspicious packages.

Similar announcements were made in Cleveland and several other cities.

True the more the left of this world speak and do their nutty actions the more they aid the terrorist. However, this makes me even more determined to have President Bush and Tony Blair on the correct side of this war! The hollywood weirdos can just go on and aid those who want to destroy us, and they will see their profits and 5 homes decline to a dream. Resolve!!! That is what President Bush has and I admire him more today than any other day. Thank God for him and his fellow leaders that know this is an attact on our society! The Terrorist will NEVER WIN!
